Autoblock?

I saw the note you left on User talk:89.129.54.112. I didn't see the autoblock here. Is there somewhere else I should check in the future? Thanks! TNXMan 20:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

The initial unblock request was an autoblock-removal request; hence I assumed he'd been caught in an autoblock. -Jeremy 20:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I only saw the standard unblock request. Strange that toolserver didn't pick up the autoblock. Thanks! TNXMan 21:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Request for refactoring

My first post to the EE mailing list arbcom was made on September 22: "I received a link to the web site containing the email list on Thursday and read some of them." and went on to ask for evidence presentation guidelines. You wrote of me on Sep 23rd: " Given that his first post here was to ask for a copy of the archive..." Your statement about my first post is inaccurate, and I ask that you refactor it. Novickas (talk) 15:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the refactor. Since you wonder where I came from - I was a party at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus and Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Eastern European disputes - many of the same people. I've not been as active since then, but I was taken aback by the appearance of what turned out to be members of the mailing list group at Talk:Battle of Vilnius (1655) and Talk:Tiškevičiai Palace, Palanga. They were, per the mailing list archive, recruited to support the proposed name changes. Not as serious as some of the other issues there, which is why I probably won't be participating further. Novickas (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

IP vandal

Hey Jeske, periodically I visit your fine establishment for really just one purpose: please check out the recent contributions of User:68.101.104.146, if you have a moment. I hadn't heard from the IP's band in a while, but they were back to perform on my user page fresh after a three-month block. Woohoo! Anyway, whatever you decide, thanks for your help! Drmies (talk) 18:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Reblocked for two quarters. -Jeremy 19:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:AN#Request for official unblock

Hi, that thread might interest you, since it concerns an issue with respect to which you have taken action.  Sandstein  21:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Marwat

Hello there. I noticed that you indefinitely fully protected this page in August. I was wondering if you think it would be all right to unprotect it now. Regards, NW (Talk) 22:55, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd say so, given as one side's been banned for unrelated issues. Apologies for the delay, I had no 'Net access 'till a few hours ago. -Jeremy 05:37, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Availablity,

Could I get your opinion on something?— Dædαlus 06:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

please leave me alone

with your previous comments of "slot off, fragface" and "chummer, shut the frag up", along with your other threats, i want to make it clear that i want you to stay away from me. ignore the urge to comment on me, and definitely stay away from my talk page. i am literally 100% freaked out by your language/aggression towards me. leave me the hell alone. do not respond to this. just rollback it or whatever. but leave me alone. if i do anything that requires admin intervention, i am sure one of the other thousands of admins will figure it out. you need to stay away from me because your behavior/obsession with me makes me extremely uncomfortable. i hope this request was polite/firm enough so that you understand and accept my request. Theserialcomma (talk) 10:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

And I am 100% disgusted with your behavior towards other users, myself included. -Jeremy 19:52, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry!

Sorry about that!!! Looks like I had a brain fart... Would you like me to release the block on Vanisheduser5965 , or are you just planning to file the name change request? Just say the word. Hiberniantears (talk) 02:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I've already filed it. -Jeremy 02:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Jeremy for your help . I'm leaving soon and will scramble my password , I just want to make sure that my page isn't vandalized by other editors . You were the only one who was helpful in this sea of bullies and so I thank you again. Vanisheduser5965 (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:C. Jackson Grayson

It looks like Talk:C. Jackson Grayson was deleted in error. The article exists. -- Whpq (talk) 19:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

It was... Fixed now. -Jeremy 19:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! -- Whpq (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Blocked User:Walaa_adel

Hi Jeremy, I've been asked by User:Walaa adel to contact you about you blocking her, I know she wasn't replying to your messages but this was because she's new to Misplaced Pages, I am her guide here...

we're originally from the Arabic Misplaced Pages, and we are working on a translations project using Google's new Translator's Toolkit, that is made to specially translate Misplaced Pages Articles... and in this process, we were copying the pages into our namespaces, so the translated output gets published automatically in our namespaces in our Misplaced Pages, where we finish the articles and revise them before publishing them to the main namespace...

so... the blocked user is one of our translators, and their part is mainly about using the toolkit, while the wikifying process comes back to us, as far as I know, copying the articles to our namespaces doesn't contract with the GFDL that all Wikimedia projects currently work under. specially that the User did NOT do any action that should be considered as vandalism, or attacking other users.. they just didn't reply to your messages. which isn't even enough to delete the page... aside from blocking him... please refer to WP:AGF

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me... and if you please unblock the user because they cannot continue their work.. Koraiem (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Um, en.wiki is also under CC-By-SA, which requires that the edit history be maintained; however, consensus is that translation efforts can be straight c&p moves, last I knew. I didn't block access to her talk page and had it watchlisted in case an explanation was forthcoming. I will unblock her and undelete every article I deleted. -Jeremy 19:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I've unblocked the user and undeleted every article copied. Send my apologies to her. -Jeremy 19:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank You! :).. of course all these copies will be deleted after we're done translating them.. and the original edit history in the original article will be intact... Thanks Again! Koraiem (talk) 22:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem. -Jeremy 22:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Got it .

Just email oversight-lATlists.wikimedia.org . I'm writing the request now. Thanks.Vanisheduser5965 (talk) 02:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Null perspiration, and good luck. -Jeremy 02:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Smash Bros Brawl - this game is new and still being sold

That is reason alone not to have that article on the main page - it makes Misplaced Pages look like an advertisement site. Since the game is new, then the designers might even release expansion packs or whatever in the near future (which could change the content of the article). The article isn't even that well written either. It's obvious that a bunch of Nintendo fanbois just voted their favorite game onto the main page.--70.254.46.126 (talk) 08:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Bullshit. Brawl is over a year old; most games, Brawl included, don't have a sell life of past six months. Also, please note that we have had featured articles for several businesses and products, and Misplaced Pages was not seen as an ad agency for them. Why the hell is it different for a video game? -Jeremy 09:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

It's just comments like "This is a great game. Why shouldn't it be on the front page?" that irritate me. I guess it isn't my decision though. And as for 4chan being featured on the front page, I never even knew it was there and I wouldn't have voted for it. Cheers.--81.222.64.215 (talk) 05:04, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Note that I did not have anything to do with the article's Featured Article push, and that "This is a great game" has no bearing on whether or not it's worthy for the front page; see WP:Featured article criteria. -Jeremy 05:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Adminship day

	Happy Adminship	from the Birthday Committee
	Wishing Jéské Couriano/Archive 8 a very happy adminship anniversary on behalf of the Misplaced Pages Birthday Committee! -- Vatsan34 (talk) 15:37, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Re Jarlaxle IP socks

I've asked at WP:ANI how best to deal with this one. Any ideas? Please reply there. Mjroots (talk) 10:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

Leuko /_Contribs 23:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I saw. -Jeremy 23:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

To IPs

Chaotic Goods do not follow the direct or indirect orders of a Chaotic Evil person. Also, how can I be lawful if I'd sooner disrespect the law where it's a hindrance to the greater good? -Jeremy 03:57, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :)

Response

Hi. I notice you reverted my edit to the Ip's talk page. I know I am not that editor but the user who removed the unblock request had no right to do that and I have warned them accordingly. Thank you.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:28, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Usually we simply remove unblock requests that are simply trolling, as that one was. He was in his rights to remove it. -Jeremy 05:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I understand that it was a sensless unblock request, but it should really be up to the admins to remove unblock requests.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

That user (Either way) is an admin. -Jeremy 05:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh whoops. Well, he was an INVOLVED admin and there is evidence to suggest that he baited that IP into lashing outand getting himself/herself blocked which is not acceptable.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how much help I would be, not knowing the situation there and dealing with Bugs Bunny-style threats here. Mayhaps bring it up at AN/I? -Jeremy 05:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that would help at all. Hopefully my warning will be enough.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Good thing if it does. :D -Jeremy 05:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Your point?  Chzz  ►  07:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

oops

Ah, I didn't see the previous unprotection. Sorry about that. Ironically, that's the same thing I did to the vandal that decided to grace my talk page a few days ago. —Dark 05:29, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, maybe not ironically. Grawp's idiotic minions have decided to harass someone else. —Dark 05:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Where? -Jeremy 05:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I was referring to them losing interest in vandalising my talk page. —Dark 05:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Protect your page?

I know I won't be able to edit your page but at least it will stop your rush of vandals here.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Either (α) the 4chan thread feeding this will be off /b/ soon enough or (β) they'll lose interest and go annoy Scientology. -Jeremy 05:42, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Best to wait for them to lose interest. /b/ is not known for their attention span or their intelligence. —Dark 05:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Please give me a link to the edit

Which edit are you referring to (please provide diff) THanks. Proofreader77 (talk) 06:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh I see ... we probably saw the same vandalism, and hit the button at the same time. Proofreader77 (talk) 06:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

PS: Note the timestamps on this diff (same time left/right) Proofreader77 (talk) 06:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

G'day Jeske :-)

Just pootling round the wiki and saw the really rather nasty threats on MB's page - I thought I'd pop in because I also noticed that you blocked the IP for one month - is that because the IP is likely to be dynamic, so longer would punish the wrong person? - I ask, because I would presume that generally you'd go 'forever' block when related to something like that... hope you're good regardless... and good on you for dealing with such genuinely horrible stuff..... Privatemusings (talk) 08:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't ask me about /b/tards at this point. I'm too busy laughing at them trying to brute-force in their edits thru the AF. :P -Jeremy 08:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

heh! - does the '/b' thing mean that this is sort of organised at 4chan? - I don't really know much about that subculture, but it's a weird one, for sure! also, AF == abuse filter, right? :-) Privatemusings (talk) 08:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, and yes. -Jeremy 08:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Accidental rollback

No worries - there are worse things that can happen. Ottava is even now viewing it as evidence that I am somehow 'suspicious' and am being investigated by someone (not sure who - personally I hope it's Mulder). Ah well, all part of life's rich tapestry, and I understand from the notes I see flying around that you are suffering worse on-Wiki problems at the moment. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 04:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it a "problem"; "substitute to reality TV", maybe, but "problem" no. -Jeremy 09:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Jéské Couriano's Day!

(fluffy and happy horses*** removed by Jeremy ) For a userbox you can add to your userbox page, see User:Rlevse/Today/Happy Me Day! and my own userpage for a sample of how to use it. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Ehh, nein. I don't like the idea of a day dedicated to me, especially when I'm one of /b/'s most common targets. -Jeremy 00:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

How was I supposed to know about WP:RFO?

I find your edit, removing my post to ANI about the problem at the Gosselin article a bit offensive. Not only do you post in all-caps (universally recognized as shouting in type), but you lecture me about a page I had no idea existed. A simple -- and polite -- note on my talkpage would have been nice. If I hadn't just checked back in the ANI history, I still wouldn't know about WP:RFO, and even your shouting would have been for naught. My thought was that -- what with the high traffic of administrators available at ANI -- that the oversight would come much quicker that way. Additionally, is the guy who boasted that he had taken a "screenshot" blocked yet? Has he been checkusered? If not, that should be done immediately. UA 23:30, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Please hear me out. It is SOP to remove requests that would be best handled by Oversighters off AN/I specifically because of the nature of the edits Oversight works with (i.e. nonpersonal public information). In fact, the header at the top of AN/I specifically says, "DO NOT make such requests here; reports here are visible to everyone." (boldface and caps in original.)

As for CU'ing, unless you have any proof of wrongdoing by that account, the CUs are not going to run a check because CheckUser (the tool) is very invasive of privacy. i.e. Checkusers will not run a check on gut suspicion, hard evidence is needed. Also, it's worthless if that account's his only one or if he constantly hops IPs. -Jeremy 04:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Marwat article

I believe you have protected the Marwat article because of an edit war between two members. One of them is banned, while the other one is inactive for the past month and half. It would be a good idea to remove the protection from the page so other Wikipedians can clean up the article or add/remove information. Thank you (Ketabtoon (talk) 14:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC))

If there's no evidence of LoW resuming there, I'll unprot. Going to check right now. -Jeremy 20:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Done and apologies for the protracted length of time. -Jeremy 20:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Furry?

(userbox) Like a bear? lol. A8UDI 02:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

No... I tend to be more effeminate, which isn't a bear trait. -Jeremy 02:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
